Tony Buba and I need your help to spread the word about the world premiere of our new documentary film, *Becoming Benjamin Lay*, Saturday, April 11, 2026, 4:00 pm. We have a huge venue and need to fill it! Carnegie Library, 419 Library St., Braddock, PA. Tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/becoming-b...

New-ish film I participated in about colonial Yorkshire. See thread for link and password to see the film @themerl.bsky.social @handhyorkshire.bsky.social

Big Fat Lie. We have 3 Mosques.

...and just like that, the prep for this year's HA Conference has begun! @colinmccormick.bsky.social and I will be presenting about our ongoing work on teaching the British Empire, inspired by @corinnefowler.bsky.social 's Our Island Stories 📖 first time attending HA Conference too - can't wait! 🌟

Epstein managed different networks. The UK media has rightly centred the powerful pedophile ring. It has maintained an uncanny silence about the global, anti-democratic, far right political network. Farage is up to his neck in it. If it weren’t for unprecedented double standards it’d be career over.

Ignore the inevitable, instinctive, ad hominem, knee jerk hostility to a book on slavery and the monarchy in the right wing press. This is a better glimpse of @brookenewman.bsky.social’s new book: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Give this a listen. @corinnefowler.bsky.social is sublime. If you havent bought Our Island Stories I'd highly recommend open.spotify.com/episode/10Fj...

History teachers please read this. Open acces! Congratulations to my friends @abdulmohamud.bsky.social et al. discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10...

Another wonderful free event coming up from the North East teacher branch of @histassoc.bsky.social featuring the brilliant @mrmayhew.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beyond-bur... #history #historyteacher

Pete doing Pete things. Genius this 🔥🔥 @richkhistory.bsky.social

Great chat with film maker and environmentalist John Tween in Moseley Bog, a place associated with Tolkein & much loved by the poet Benjamin Zephaniah m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jxeo...

Great to know @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social! Thanks so much to you and to @colinmccormick.bsky.social also for your #SHP25 workshop also! Loved the approach you've developed to connect the local/national/global! So much to work with there!

Brilliant session by @dankeates.bsky.social . Can't wait to read it. @victoriacrooks.bsky.social

Kicking-off day 2 of @1972shp.bsky.social Conference 2025 with @colinmccormick.bsky.social & @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social’s powerful presentation of local, national and international approaches to learning about Liverpool’s history of slave-trading and enslavement. #SHP25

Tom Allen masterpiece. Watch his @histassoc.bsky.social session before it expires if you can

One account describes a retreating soldier: "We sensed somehow that these men had seen hell...He half turned, & indicating the weary straggling figures before him, shrugged expressively, [and said]: 'General fucked up.....Back where they fucking well started.'" That general was my great grandpa.

Listen to @oblaize.bsky.social he knows what he's talking about! Come and join Otis and Justice2History for their workshop on Decolonisation and the British Empire. Tickets available here SHP Summer Conference 2025 | Leeds Trinity University Online Store share.google/6BoMprddy3g1...

If you are short of ideas for teaching but think AI is not the way you want to go, you might want to check out SHP's new #curriculumpaths project. Browse units planned by other professionals, complete with their rationales and ethical underpinnings! www.padlet.com/cpaths/hub #historyteacher

And here it is. Finally. Surrounded by some of the scholarship that shaped it. It’s beautiful and such fun to teach - it has given my Year 8 class stories to live inside. A parent messaged me to say history has ‘never been so fun!’ - all I did was tell the class stories from this book.

So the fabulous @anniehewett.bsky.social is leading CPD at Durrington next year. I’ve bought her a gift @ensermark.bsky.social & @greeborunner.bsky.social 😉

Why wouldn't you work with Hugh if you had the chance?

Great review of The Truth About Empire by @corinnefowler.bsky.social bellacaledonia.org.uk/2024/12/18/t...

Have seen the Policy Exchange "Lessons from the Past" report pop up a bit recently (in rel to Curric review & depts looking at their curriculua). Thought it was time I had a look.. Quick ver: some useful but not novel findings in a problematic package full of contradictions. #historyteacher 🧵 /1

Looking forward to reading this. So important that "global topics" like enslavement are also taught as local history. Congratulations @colinmccormick.bsky.social and @katieamery.bsky.social for all the work you did on this! Sheffield teachers can do similar with resources I've linked in comments.

Sources regarding Sheffield and Enslavement from Sheffield Council. www.sheffield.gov.uk/sites/defaul...

Really sad to hear this. Sir Geoff was a great man and personally supportive. His quote, 'We can't change the past, but we can change the consequences of it through better education,' is truly profound. Rest in peace, Sir Geoff Palmer.

Now available (finally) RTs welcome 🙏 www.waterstones.com/book/transat...

1. A story. Please read. Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit. I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

Well done to all those amazing history teachers out there! GCSE History 2025 - all done. #historyteacher

Pleased to see our @htenuk.bsky.social call for minimum bursary payments for all #ITT students gaining some attention. Equity of access to the profession is important for the health of our education system. www.tes.com/magazine/new... #historyteacher #HistoryEducation #TeacherEducation
